Was watching "Inside the 3d Reich" last night

[CatWoman]

and was struck how "Fatherland" sounds like "Homeland".

and "1000 year Reich" sounds like "permanent Republican majority".

"Blitzkrieg" = "Shock and Awe"

My head hurts.

[Dollface]

1. Was it rented or broadcast? If broadcast what channel?

[CatWoman]

4. I ordered the DVD from ioffer.com

2. I watched a PBS special called "Aristide" and how

the * family has been involved in detsroying anyhope of a true Democracy. All the information Americans have received about Aristide has been propaganda.....

[applegrove]

3. They partially modeled themselves on Hitler. They studied all the conservatives including Hitler.

No surprise they were so orweillian.

[DJ13]

5. Bush's uncle was a collaborator with Hitler in Nazi Germany

It runs in the family.

[Kansas Wyatt]

6. Where do you think the Fascists running this country got their material.

They aren't fucking bright enough to come up with it on their own. They have taken it right out of the Nazi playbook, along with repeating lies over and over, until people start believing their lies.

Did you think it was just coincidence that the Bush Family, the CIA, and the Nazis seemed to have so much in common?

[Zodiak]

8. Well at least they were smart enough to not repeat Hitler's worst excesses

Thank God for that!

But the language is unmistakable fascist nationalism.
And the aggressive wars are similar.
And the use of propaganda is similar, even more advanced, I would say.
And the marriage of corporate and state interests is similar.

There are lots of comparisons, enough to call them proto-fascist, neo-fascist, or as Naomi Klein calls them...simply corporatists.

[Elwood P Dowd]

9. The Reichstag fire = 9-11

The Enabling Act = The Patriot Act + Military Commissions Act

And on and on we go down the road to Republican Fascism.

10. Watch 'Occult Secrets of the Third Reich'

If you want to see some weird shit. Theywere basically trying to take over Soviet Union to establish an SS colony in the Ukraine. Himmler and Hitler had a pastoral vision of the land use where there were scattered settlements of SS gentlemen farmers. Friggin' crazy.

[unblock]

11. if "inside the 3rd reich" hurts your head, just stop watching foxnews!

:evilgrin:

[Hydra]

12. Take it from someone who only dug at the surface

The similarities are NOT your imagination.

[Swamp Rat]

13. Even our helmets now look the same.

heil CatWoman! :hug:

[lonestarnot]

17. OMShitty pants!

:toast: One sick dried up turd in a helmet.

[asdjrocky]

14. And you're just getting this now?

Go read 1984 right now! Sorry, you caught me in the middle of my 2 minute hate.

[11cents]

16. "Homeland" is almost a calque of German "Heimat"

That's why the word sounded so odd and, well, foreign-in-a-bad-way when it was introduced after 9/11. Now we've become used to it.

[lonestarnot]

18. OH NO WE HAVEN'T!

:wtf:

[bridgit]

19. Yep, "I gotta keep repeating myself to sort'a catapult the propaganda." - g.w. bush

Catapult the Propaganda

[The Straight Story]

20. Bill Clinton actually rejected the use of the word homeland at one time

Been many years since I found the snippet on google.com/unclesam and probably won't find it again tonight. It was floated around 1997 IIRC for a new dept....hmmm, guess they finally got what they wanted.

[oldskool]

21. Fourth reich culture Americana (The Bush family tree)

Rage Against the Machine said it best about The New World
Order.
